Rashford is about to realize his dream of joining Barcelona, and The Athletic posted a post about the impact of the deal.
Barcelona has long been interested in Rashford. In 2019, when the player was only 21 years old, Barcelona tried to introduce him, and Manchester United priced him at 100 million pounds. Although the attempt was not successful, Barcelona did not give up. When Cruyff Jr. served as Barcelona sporting director, they tried to sign Rashford again, although it was considered almost impossible to take him away from Manchester United, the two sides did have contact at the time.
Tenhach was fired the following year, and Rashford's status also declined, but joining Barcelona this time may be an opportunity for him, because no one would expect him to be like the peak Messi. But Rashford should be very motivated to seize this opportunity to restart his career and prove himself to those who doubt him.
Rashford scored six goals during loan on Villa in the second half of last season, but no top league player was willing to pay his high transfer fees, which shows why he is currently not sought after. But this loan is beneficial to all parties. Manchester United saved a lot of wages from a high-paying player. Rashford was also willing to cut his salary to promote the deal, and he may receive a transfer fee of 30 million euros in the future. If you perform well, it is a great choice for the player. And in Barcelona's offensive system, he will get more ball rights than in Villa.
However, Barcelona must now raise funds to register for Rashford. It is true that Rashford has a good salary, but he is no stranger to Barcelona. Barcelona fans are also excited about his arrival, and if the player performs well, his salary can be offset by commodity sales, and British tourists are also an important tourism market that Barcelona is actively seeking. In the past decade, no Manchester United player has sold more jerseys than Rashford.
Rashford joined one of the best teams in the world at present. He scored 174 goals in 60 games last season. However, if Barcelona does not think that the player's joining can have an immediate impact, they will not sign Rashford. What Barcelona sees is a player with strong athletic ability, able to play a role in multiple positions and score goals. Outside the stadium, Barcelona is one of the most livable cities in the world, with multiple flights traveling every day between Manchester City and the Catalan capital. For players who need a different environment, being able to live in Barcelona is a blessing. Leaving Manchester City can relieve the negative emotions surrounding Rashford and get rid of damaged relationships with Manchester United and most Red Devils fans.
However, Rashford must also establish good relationships with Barcelona fans and local media, become a good person, and embrace Catalan culture. Here, no matter how famous it is, it has extremely low tolerance for unprofessional behavior and is extremely strict in media supervision. Fortunately, Rashford has a coach who appreciates him and speaks English. Barcelona director Deco has always wanted to sign him. Looking at these conditions, the players can no longer ask for more.
